Palmer LTER
Vertebrate Species Inventory: Birds and Mammals

Birds (CICONIFORMES; 34 records) and Mammals (CARNIVORA, CETACEA; 15 records).
The goal is to develop a link between the sites in the LTER Network and the
network of Biosphere Reserves (Man and the Biosphere Progam) and to provide 
a common data base using similar classification schemes.  The Biosphere 
Reserves software MABFauna was used by R.Waide for all LTER site provided
inventories.   -K.Baker
